Pristine condition, in and out.

Like the image, a white exterior, but no vynil top.  
Dark Blue interior with a plethora of gauges.

460 cube big block taking premium fuel.:eek:  
3 speed auto driving the rear wheels.

Driving produced a deep rumble from the exhaust and not quite as much body rool as I expected.

The door weighs a _ton._😛  
BTW, this vehicle is the basis of the Barris Kustom Kar " The Car"
